AB John Arthur "Pancho" Pickford
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:51, Uttoxeter Rd, Tean, Stoke-on-Trent
Some recollections from HMS Nelson: I remember the time we were leaving Normandy and we hit two mines. The Nelson was so badly damaged that we had to limp over to America for repairs. Whilst in America I saw Bing Crosby sing at the Philadelphia Dockyards and was part of the cortege for some Lord from the British Embassy.
